Jackson Court This week, Judge
Graves presiding.
Judge Shnford and Solicitor Car
ter are pushing matters in the: In
ferior court. 1t is one OF the best tri-
bunals in the State.
Mr.. James o. Howell has returned

ment of goods will follow him in a
few days. He selects nothing but
the best goods.
Mr.. Wright, another Shelby man,
was in our city yesterday. Shelby

Just now, but we welcome them all
Shelby folkR are good folks, and
progressive folks, judging from those
we have already captured.
Judge ]. H. Merrimon reached holse
from Franklin county Court Saturday, in
good health and of course happy at an
opportunity to visit his home. We be-
lieve the only objection our distinguish
ed friend has to being Judge is he is re-
quired to be away from his, mountsin
home 30 much. He loves his friends
none the less however, in other sections.
having a heart aplow for all sections of
his native State.
The rains of the past day or two
have prevented Street Commissioner
Murray from prosecuting his street
improvement work. We care not
who may be Aldermen, we would
be glad to know that Mr.. Murray
would have charge of tho street i'm
provements for the next ten years,
for more faithful, honest, industri-
Gus mancannot be found.
@ Now is the time TO plant all crops
which mature outside the ground.
All good politics, not an under
ground affair, do best when planted
at this season of the year This ac~
counts for the first Monday in May
beingselected for municipal election,
expecting all good white men to
keep their heads on their shoulders
and do their best for their respec-
live towns or cities.
Not quite enough moEey has been
raised to complete the survey of the
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chi
cago railroad to Asheville, and
the business men of the city
will be waited on to help in this
Watter. This is one of the most
important movements that Ashe-
vile has had to consider, and the
gentlemen who are at the head OF it
would like to have the hearty CO.
operation of the citizens of Ashe,
vile and of Buncombe,
Mr., Carrier, the progressive pro,
prietor of the Asheville White Sui
phar Springs Jersey Farm and
Dairy, received yesterday ten more
pure Jerseys to add to his already
large herd. Mr.. Carrier has had
many years eqperienceI with fine
milk and butter cattle, and has se-
lected the Jerseys as tlN best, ::and
has introduced them exclusively
upon his fine Sulpur Springs farm,
near Asheville. He is determined
to have a splendid Jersey stock and
dairy farm, and will succeed.
Dark blue sateens and other cot,
ton goods will be worn all summer,
but before purchasing dark blue
dress of any sort it is wise to see to
it that the dyeis fast. This can be
done by rubbing the blue material
on q bit of white linen-a pocket
handkerchief. for example. If the
color comes off, on no account pur>
chase. Collars, cuffs, lingeria, shirts
handkerchiefs, fancy work, and
even ones hands, "take on the
bIue," and this coloris more apt to
prove a fast dye" where it haslmar-
red the purity of a white article Of
dress than upon the original dyed
material, for its requires the most
vigorous kind of rubbing to rid the.
soiled linen of its blue marks. So
say the laundresses.
The Murphy Bulletin gives
us the pleasing information
that the Marietta and North Georgia
Road would be ironed in a few days
several miles near Murphy, placing
the terminus but six or eight miles
from that town, we believe. We
hope by summer or early fall at
fai thest the engine will be helping
the Bulletin blow right on the banks
of the Hiawassee.
Tn Bulletin also says:
"We learn by private letter that a
company has been organized in
Chattanooga with 5000 cash capiN
tai to re-open the Wellburn Hill
gold mine, situated about IL miles
southeast of Murphy, near the Geor.
gia line"
Keep the work a going, Bro. Bltl-
tetin.
The statement of exports for the
last year shows a gain of $31 100000
